Real time feedback and dynamic adjustment for welding robots

Abstract

Systems and methods for real time feedback and for updating welding instructions for a welding robot in real time is described herein. The data of a workspace that includes a part to be welded can be received via at least one sensor. This data can be transformed into a point cloud data representing a three-dimensional surface of the part. A desired state indicative of a desired position of at least a portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be identified. An estimated state indicative of an estimated position of at least the portion of the welding robot with respect to the part can be compared to the desired state. The welding instructions can be updated based on the comparison.

1 . A computer-implemented method for updating welding instructions for a welding robot, the computer-implemented method comprising:
 receiving, via at least one sensor, data of a workspace that includes a part to be welded;   transforming, via a processor, the data into a point cloud data representing a three-dimensional surface of the part;   identifying, via the processor and based on the point cloud data, a desired state indicative of a desired position of at least a portion of the welding robot with respect to the part; and   comparing, via the processor, an estimated state indicative of an estimated position of at least the portion of the welding robot with respect to the part to the desired state; and   updating, via the processor, the welding instructions based on the comparison.
